State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli says local government sales tax collections across New York have grown by 7.6% through the first nine months of 2026, compared to the same period last year. According to DiNapoli's quarterly sales tax report, collections totaled $19.6 billion from January to September, an increase of $1.4 billion. DiNapoli adds that the year-over-year growth was stronger than the same period in 2025 (4.3%) and more than four times higher than the increase in 2024 (1.7%). In Chautauqua County, total sales tax collections through September have amounted to $75.6 million, an increase of 3.5% from 2025. DiNapoli cautions that local governments should temper their expectations for sales tax revenue growth, citing higher costs that could reduce consumer spending.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from some of the wildest policies espoused by leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America . Hizzoner downplayed the possibility of him getting booted out of the lefty group while claiming there’s mainstream public support to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “The thing that has been offered as a part of a litany of policy platforms that I would reject is, after last night, why would we abolish the Senate?” Mamdani told “Fox News Sunday” in a pre-taped interview. “I think what we’re seeing is that Americans across this country are facing a cost-of-living crisis,” he added. “Americans are tired of waiting. They are tired of being told that their needs are unrealistic by the very politicians who have been bought by the wealthiest people in the country.” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from key tenets of the DSA platform.

At about 11:30 p.m. on Election Night, I was perched on a high piece of ground near the loading dock of the Westchester County Board of Election’s Ardsley warehouse. I had a clear line of sight down the long entrance into the parking lot. I was expecting to see BOE vans delivering the controversial paper ballots that voters had been unable to scan into voting machines across Westchester County for most of Election Day. We were told the vans would have police escorts. Then a phalanx of police vehicles eased to the left off Saw Mill River Road onto the long driveway up to the warehouse. I identified Eastchester and Bedford as they passed by. They were transporting the provisional ballots themselves. They were driving slowly, no sirens, muted emergency lights. It looked exactly like a funeral procession and in many ways it might be. Republicans across the Hudson Valley and the nation were drowned in the blue wave that swept them away on Nov. 3.
